Questions like “Which browser should I use?” regularly come up on the r/browsers subreddit. I sometimes respond to these posts, but my quick replies usually only contain one or two points. To be honest, until recently I wasn’t even sure myself why I use Firefox. Of course it’s a pretty good browser, but that doesn’t explain why I’ve stubbornly stayed loyal to Firefox for more than a decade. After giving it a bit more thought, I came up with the following reasons.

I'm aware there are some more private options, but I feel like ff is enough and is important to keep user numbers up, because once Firefox goes the forks go too.

Not sure as I don't use them, but look up any browser suggestion thread on Lemmy, besides the chrome forks there's always a couple of suggestion for a more private FF

Waterfox and Librewold are both popular examples.
